GREAT PERFORMANCES
YOUNG MEN
FRIDAY, APRIL 7 @ 7:00PM & 12:00AM
A dramatic dance film shot on location in Northern France about soldiers trying to maintain their humanity amidst the brutality of World War I, choreographed by Iván Pérez with a score by Keaton Henson, directed by Michael Nunn and William Trevitt.
The narrative follows a young solider and his squadron’s experience of basic training, combat, and ultimately, the destruction of modern warfare. The film is shot without words, instead using the locations and carefully choreographed dance to depict the devastation of a continent. The characters themselves remain ambiguous, representative of the experiences of young men of every nation as they struggle to maintain their humanity in an unending cycle of combat and death.
